The team is working to bring Monterey County an entire Blues Experience, with dynamic music, international foods, unique vendors, exhibits and more. The MIBF will launch as a one day event on May 13th in the same location as the historic Monterey Pop Festival— kicking off the City of Monterey’s National “Summer of Love/50th Anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival” marketing campaign, which will provide an abundance of sponsorship marketing opportunities.
